Sounds like good advice. Quite apart from any imperfections in the algorithm, there are always going to be factors that will affect your reading speed: a change in your environment; variations in your mood; or just the fact that the second half of the chapter is more, or less, interesting than the first.

Personally, I'd rather just get on with reading the book, and not worry about how long it's going to take.
